Terminal Suppliers, should be requested to announce the Maximum Storage Time for their Product. Afterwards the QM has to check these terminals for Visual Changes / Coloration on the Surface, Damage / Deformation and / or Contamination. If these terminals show no Visual Difference to New Terminals, they may be released for production for another year. The test must be documented on the terminal-reel (for example by a sticker with test-date and tester) and Recorded on a Log in the Goods Inwards Area.
